Motivation for taking this course

Passion for entrepreneurship and learning about its legal aspects

How strongly would I recommend this course?

For those interested in research or entrepreneurship: 8/10. Prof Atrey is Dean R&D and takes this course which is again a big plus

When to take this course?

6th semester. Ideally it can be taken in the 4th semester as well. I opted for it then but since it is a 2nd half semester course, it had to be cancelled then due to the pandemic
